Government run companies are just so efficient and logical, no wonder so many want their lives run by the government as well. [huge sarc]

And one would have thought the Caravan to be the type to be government-approved as well. Way to go to shoot company in foot. Fare thee well, Chrysler . . . we hardly knew ye.

Central Planning is awesome, isn’t it? Just look at that stupid VOLT! Couple thousand sold, huh?

Nuttin’ like a ‘gummit owned company to crank out the correct products.

Cars that don't sell? Like the Volt? Push 'em! Push 'em! They'll catch on eventually!

Best-selling model? Kill it. No one wants that old thing.

And the economy is in the crapper, why?

Maybe we’re all going to take a Presidential risky bet of an investment of sun-powered cargo vans - it’s all OK ‘cuz there were Obama Bundlers as co-investors.

Methinks the decision might have a little sense to it. Chrysler - at least - appears to be trying to make cars folks want, as opposed to Chevy Volts.

Had it been a government creti...er...minion, the decision would have been to make the Caravan all electric - with a range of 10 miles and a recharge time of 23 hours.

I always had a soft spot for Dodge. I bought their neons and got a lot of use out of them. My family van when I was a child was a Dodge passenger van. I also owned a dodge stratus, and it was a very good car for me. However, I bought a 2007 Dodge Caliber AWD. I never seen a car loaded with so many problems. I had to get rid of it because its rising maintenance costs, and my expanding family. Unfortunately, I predict Dodge/Chrysler will no longer exist in the coming years due to the events of the past several years. Its sad really, because car manufacturing was something we did better than everyone else.

That is the vehicle my Daughter drives. She probably qualifies as a soccer mom too.

Their other vehicle is a Toyota Camry.

Why don’t they just get it over with and give us all a volkswagon. You know from that other experiment in corporatist central planning.

Oh wait. They already did that. Its the Volt.

They should rename it the Voltwagon.

All hail Obama.

That’s what our Leftist government has been pushing for for the last 40 years - investment in losers whether companies, ideas, or people.

I bought a new Caravan once but I will never buy another GM or Chrysler vehicle. I am a Ford man for life now thanks to that kenyan we have in the whitehouse.

But they will keep making the Town & Country which costs more and has more features. At a time when people do not have money.

The Caravan is on an old platform. It needs to be replaced by something be that called Caravan or something else.

Between my husband and I we owned 4 of them. Great vehicle to schlep a bunch of kids around in. Don’t have one now because almost all the kids are grown, but they were a great car for a family.

Now, I only had a handful of business courses in college, but I don’t remember getting rid of your most popular selling item as being part of any theory i was taught. Maybe that was covered on the day I was out.
